The MOLD help diet!!!!

Symptoms of mold hypersensitivity can be worsened by eating foods, such as cheeses, that are processed with fungi. Other foods like mushrooms, which have gills that attract viruses, fungi, and other invaders, dried fruits, and foods containing yeast, soy sauce; which obtains its unique flavor from Aspergillus, or vinegar can also produce allergic symptoms. Avoid these foods if you suspect any mold allergies, or have suffered from prolonged exposure to toxigenic molds, and have yourself checked for leaky gut syndrome by a knowledgeable physician.

A recipe guide will be available soon to make this diet more palatable as this diet is essential to cleansing the body of fungi according to several studies. It makes sense that adding more medication to an overloaded immune system doesn't always make sense. Mold Help Solutions is happy to offer some alternative advice under the advice of a qualified physician. The recipe guide, along with some wonderful diet solutions, is available on the new Mold Help Solutions website at a reduced cost to the consumer.

Foods to Avoid!

- NO dried fruit; raisons, apricots, prunes, figs, etc.
- NO aged cheese of any kind - Some cheeses are acceptable if milk is tolerable, e.g., cottage cheese, mozzarella, provolone, ricotta and farmer's cheese.
- NO mushrooms or fungi whatsoever, such as truffles, even avoid sprouts.
- NO Leftovers- Eat within 24 hours, unless frozen (microwave frozen food to thaw quickly)
- NO Breads. Malted means moldy. Dough conditioners are moldy. Sourdough or sourdough starter is the worst. (Sometimes labeled yeast-free) Bread develops surface mold within a day. Some tortillas, biscuits, muffins, cakes and cookies are usually yeast free, yet high in sugar content. You can buy sprouted bread with no yeast (Not sourdough) at the health food store.
- NO Sauerkraut. It has been fermented.
- NO Tomato Products; Juice, sauce, paste, ketchup, etc., are made from moldy tomatoes.
- NO Beer - The darker the beer, the more mold it contains.
- NO Wine & Wine Vinegar - White wine is least moldy; clear vinegar may be tolerated.
- NO liquor - Vodka, tequila, clear rums are least moldy.
- Be careful of multi-B Vitamins - Many contain either yeast or mold (Rice hulls are moldy). Some are
alright. Check with manufacturer. See note below on Aspergillus fermentation process.
- NO cider or fruit juice (juice contains mold as it is made with old fruit).
- NO Pickled and smoked meats and fish, including processed delicatessen foods, sausages, salami, bologna, frankfurters, corned beef and pickled tongue.
- NO eggs
- NO melons, except watermelon if very fresh and eaten same day.

AVOID FERMENTED PRODUCTS

NO YEAST

NO SUGAR

NOTE: ALL FOODS WILL BECOME MOLDY IN TIME. SHOP FREQUENTLY, BUY IN SMALL QUANTITIES, AND WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK THE VENDOR ABOUT THE FRESHNESS OF THEIR FOODS. READ LABELS. MOLDS THRIVE ON SUGAR-CONTROL YOUR INTAKE. A MOLDY ENVIRONMENT (HOME, OFFICE, SCHOOL, CHURCH, CAR) CAN BE AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM. DO NOT STORE FOODS IN A FROST- FREE FREEZER FOR MORE THAN A WEEK TO TWO WEEKS BECAUSE OF THE AUTOMATIC THAW CYCLE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. ORGANIC FOODS, ALTHOUGH MUCH BETTER FOR THE BODY EFFECTED BY TOXIC MOLD DUE TO THE LACK OF CHEMICALS TEND TO MOLD MORE QUICKLY AS THEY LACK ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES. TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM SODA. IT'S LOADED WITH SUGAR. DIET SODA CONTAINS FORMALDEHYDE. THAT'S WORSE!

FOODS TO EAT

Eat only freshly opened canned foods and freshly prepared fresh fruits and vegetables. CHECK TO SEE IF ORGANIC PRODUCE TREATED WITH ROTENONE HAS BEEN BANNED IN YOUR STATE, IF YOU CHOOSE TO EAT ORGANICS.

Eat plenty of protein; including meats, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, and fresh fish as often as possible. It's amazing how the proper diet can make all the difference in the world.

Drink bottled water. Tap water contains mold. Try to drink distilled or reverse osmosis water as it retains the good bacteria in the digestive tract.

Try to avoid chemicals and additives such as hormones and antibiotics. Try to avoid wheat and wheat products as much as possible.

To eliminate fungal growths, do the following:

Deprive the fungus of moisture (change socks often, use heat etc., P.247 of "The Cure for all Diseases")
Deprive the invaders of iron (provide extra zinc)
Deprive the fungus of sugar (modify diet)
Strengthen the skin's immune power (avoid lotions etc.)
Strengthen the skin's healing ability (keep clean, use H2O2 35% in bathing water, available with other approved products)
Here is how to consume mold-free food:

Make and bake food items for yourself, using no sugar (substitutes are available here under MH Diet)
Test the things you dearly love but cannot make or bake
Treat things that are treatable for molds
Wash the outside of fruits and vegetables with Vit C or 17% Hydrogen peroxide solution
Throw the rest out of your diet!
... and here are the recommendations from three medical doctors of the World Health Organization...

FIRST FOLLOW A DIET TO LIMIT INTAKE OF MYCOTOXIC FOOD/DRINKS
SECOND LIMIT GROWTH OF TOXIN-PRODUCING FUNGI IN THE GUT WITH PROPER NUTRICUTICALS
THIRD INCREASE VEGETABLE FIBER IN DIET TO BIND AND PREVENT ABSORPTION OF MYCOTOXINS (REMOVAL BY DEFECATION), BUT AVOID NIGHTSHADE FRUITS/VEGETABLES
THEN CONSIDER DIETARY PLUS ANTI-FUNGAL DRUGS SUCH AS DAILY ASPIRIN (WILLOW BARK) TO PREVENT HEART ATTACKS AND STROKE
LASTLY CONSIDER DIETARY PLUS ANTI-FUNGAL/ANTITOXIN DRUGS TO TREAT THOSE AFFLICTED BY EXCESSIVE FUNGAL COLONIZATION/MYCOTOXIN CONTAMINATION

Simply sprinkling vitamin C over roasted nuts is not effective because the molds have penetrated the surface. Rinse the nuts in water first (a lot of mold is removed in this simple way). Cover the nuts with water, add about 1/4 tsp. vitamin C powder (for a pint of nuts) and mix. Let stand for 5 minutes. The water penetrates the nuts, taking the vitamin C with it and detoxifies them. Pour off the water and dry the nuts in the oven at low heat. (Don't burn them or you'll be making benzopyrene!).

Nevertheless...
Avoid crackers, they are notorious for molds
Dried fruits are very moldy. Soak in vitamin C water. Rinse and bake to dry again. Then store in refrigerator or freezer.
Peanut (store-bought) butter can't be mixed with Ester C due to the mixing problem even if you mix thoroughly.
Tea is quite moldy if purchased in tea bags. Use single herb teas from fresh sources in bulk. Use a non-metal strainer.
Sterilize strainer and dish washing rag or sponge occasionally with hydrogen peroxide, or bake it or put it in a dishwasher.
Pick out all dark and shriveled bits in hot cereals. Add honey and salt while boiling. This raises the temperature even more.
At the end, add vitamin C powder.
Do not use grains that are more than six months old. Store cereals in cupboard or freezer not the refrigerator. There they attract moisture which develops molds.
Buy red potatoes instead of white ones and wash them well. Cut out dubious spots. They don't have the green scopolamine areas which are toxic. Don't fry them!
Cut the ends off corn on the cob. Refrain from eating nachos, popcorn and other dry corn products.

ACIDOPHILUS WITH F.O.S. (Acidophilus has very healing effects and promotes natural anti-fungals in the body, however, artificially produced F.O.S. is made with the aspergillus fermentation process. If you would like natural F.O.S., you can consume watermelon seeds and reap the same nutritional benefits without any aspergillus fermentation).

Last week, it was your detox pesto recipe. Now I'm getting some great info on some things that do bother my son. He is allergic to molds as well, but I didn't know they whys of some of the foods included...very interesting. Plus, we haven't been diligent to follow his diet lately, so I think we should get back on it. I'm going to add glutamine to his supplements.
Thanks again for a great post.... Terri

for all this information. When I was diagnosd , a long time ago, my Dr. told me not to eat several things on this list, but she didn't explain why. As time has gone on, I've gone back to eating some of these things, and now I think I know why I always have a sinus infection!!

Thank you so much for posting this!!! I have always had a big problem with mold! I printed it out and will read the whole thing later.

Last week, I tried Kefir for the first time. It is a fermented drink, something like yogurt. I have been sick ever since. I had about 3 onces, 3 days in row. Cultured and fermented foods can make me really sick. I once tried Shoyu, which is a fermented soy sauce, and got very sick from that.

Some fermented foods like Kefir, shoyu, etc. are supposed to be really good for you. That is why I try them. I have some raw fermented sauerkraut in a jar from the health food store, but I am afraid to try it. It is supposed to be very beneficial for you. Well, I have been feeling great lately and then I try these things and I get sick. I should stop trying all these things and stick to what has been working for me. Apple cider vinegar also bothers me, much more than reguar vinegar.

I am surprised to see eggs on the list. I wonder why they would be included. Anyway, I am having a bad week because of the Kefir and I am so thankful that you posted this. I did some research a while back, but never came across this much info all in one place.

I am bumping this because I think it goes beyond the usual anti-candida diet. This might explain why some of us can not tolerate the usual healthy foods like nuts, whole grains, yogurt,kefir,raw sauerkraut, shoyu (fermented soy sauce), over ripe fruit,and more.

My reaction to mold is so severe that I always thought it was more than a candida problem.

Off to the health food store to get some fresh produce, unlike the moldy organic food at my local grocery store. Feeling lousy still from a mold reaction, so I hope this goes well.
